November 8 Fundraiser at East Brother Beer Company for Tom Butt for Mayor 2018 CampaignOctober 15, 2017

I recently declared my candidacy to run for reelection as mayor of Richmond in the November 2018 election. I will hold a fundraiser on Wednesday, November 8, 2017, 5:30pm - 8:00pm at East Brother Beer Company to kick-off my campaign.

In the most recent Community Survey (http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/3500/2017-Community-Survey), six out of seven quality of life metrics show increases from 2015 to 2017. In the last decade, perceptions of Richmond residents of overall quality of life, overall image, Richmond as a place to live, Richmond neighborhoods, Richmond as a place to raise children, Richmond as a place to retire and overall appearance , have all mostly or tripled.

Richmond just keeps getting better, but we have to continue addressing the challenges of crime and blight, housing shortages and jobs.

I am honored to announce the following event co-sponsors and endorsements. Please let me know if I have your support as well.

Irma Anderson, Former Mayor, City of Richmond

Rosemary Corbin, Former Mayor, City of Richmond
